I Want ----- To Shut Me Up In 2012

[ArtMonkDrillz]

I would have said Landry, but he's gone so I don't really care what he does.

I guess lacking any players that I can think of I'll go with both Kyle and Haslett. I wouldn't consider myself much of a hatter for either of them, but I also don't think either is that great.

Jamaal Brown and Kevin Barnes. Both could be very good players, but both lay some definite stinkers on a disturbingly consistent basis. Lets see if they blossom or bust this year. I believe their play this year will define the careers for both players.

Jim Haslet, Mike S., Kyle S, and the rest of the staff. You guys are in year 3 as a unit. Let's see some more improvement this year, not just in competing and losing but competing and winning a few more games. 8-8 with a rookie QB would make me happy and would actually make me believe we will compete soon.

I'm really glad you said Jim Haslet first! But the whole stinkin lot have done nothing here. I hope they shut me up!

Good thread.

I want to see us win the "luck" battle. I want to see the ball bounce back into our hands on a fumble. I want positive fluke things to start going OUR way this year. I want us to show even more heart and win the close games we typically would lose last year.

Specifically, I'd like to see Helu/Royster shut EVERYONE up and prove they're starting backs. I constantly read about how they need a "playmaking" RB to the point I almost believe it. I want them both to stay healthy and prove me and everyone else wrong.

I would say D. Hall. Runs his mouth too much and thinks he is way better than he has actualy played on the field. Made some bonehead moves last year, and ELITE corners go unnoticed when they guy they are covering is kept quite.

As far as hearing Shanny's (both) and Haslett being mentioned. Shanny has put us in a good position by bringing in young talent in basically two years. Put us in position with potential good RB's, WR's, TE's. Youth on defense. Kyle's success is directly related to the talent on the field. Grossman held that back last year. He ran a very successful offense in Houston when he had the talent. We seem to have the talent this year, so I suspect we'll be much better on points scored.

As far as Haslet....I just dont get where people are upset with the guy. He took a D that ranked 31st in the first year of a 3/4 switch all the way up to 13. Let the league in 3rd down stats most of the year, in the top (near) most of the year in sacks. Had a depleted secondary for the majority of the season. If anything, I think Haslett has proved to be a damn good coach

Mine would be Chris Wilson... my arch-nemesis.

Kyle Shanahan
AFAIC he hasnt done squat yet in the NFL.
I'm also askeered he'll have no idea how to use RG3.

Man i feel ya on that one!!!

[DynamiteRave]

DeAngelo Hall.

[mredskins]

Kyle Shanahan

I think becasue SS was so pumped about him coming which got me pumped and he has at best fizzled since he has gotten here. He was some real talent this year lets see if he makes it happen.

Great thread! And like someone said the team needs to shut EVERYONE up w/ excitement and wins.

But it really starts at the top, and this is a make/break season for Mike and Kyle in my estimation. I hope they have the offense so finely tuned and explosive I'll look like a fool for ever doubting. It starts w/ how they work w/ Griffin and does he look confident in the system.

Griffin is the future i.e. it's paramount we have a coaching staff in place that will maximize his talents, abilities and overall potential. If the Shanahans don't make serious headway w/ Griffin's development this season it's absolutely critical we find coaches who can, because I think we all see his potential.

Danny Smith, can we please go a game with out a blocked kick or a out of bounds kickoff

[Daseal]

Orakpo. He gets a lot more praise than he deserves. He's not very good in coverage and when he rushes seems to have one, fairly ineffective, move. I think he's being misused as an OLB and is a legitimate all-star at 4-3 DE. I want to see that he has made strides to improve his pass rush skills to be able to regularly beat the LTs in this league. We can say he gets held all we want, but it obviously doesn't get called -- it's time to switch it up.

If our defense is going to be electric we need pressure coming from both sides.
